It is always possible for any owner of a mortgage to sell or transfer its position, even late in a foreclosure. Such a transfer, however, should have no effect whatsoever on the rights of a homeowner. If you were not in default under the mortgage note obligations for the old owner, you will not be in default under the new owner either. Either way, however, if you want to save your home from foreclosure, you should immediately retain an experienced foreclosure defense or bankruptcy lawyer, who can advise you on possible defenses available to you. Fighting a foreclosure in order to avoid a judgment against you can give you a substantial disadvantage if you wish to cure your default via a chapter 13 bankruptcy reorganization plan. That would require you to resume your normal payment, then pay back the arrearage over up to five years via additional monthly payments.
